I& #39;m still playing with my replacement OLED display for the Equate pregnancy tester.
I was worried I wouldn& #39;t have enough bandwidth to do real time updates, but it turns out that 128x32 at 1bpp doesn& #39;t take much bandwidth at all.

people suggested it should show Bad Apple.
CAN DO!

here& #39;s the gen-z equivalent of rickroll

and it can& #39;t yet run doom. That& #39;s going to be way tricky, even cheating and having a modern desktop computer connected to it... but I CAN play back a doom video on it, which is kinda close?
(Using a different dithering method here so that you can see anything: doom is dark)

hey you, you& #39;re finally awake.
You were trying to get pregnant, right?

BTW, I& #39;m just prototyping & playing around with this right now, but when it& #39;s more complete I& #39;ll do a how-to guide so you can build your own video-pregnancy-test.

and to clarify what I& #39;m doing here:
This is a replacement display AND a replacement microcontroller. I& #39;m not using any of the original tester other than the shell.

The existing CPU can& #39;t be reprogrammed and the existing LCD can only show 4 things, so I had to replace both to make any changes.
And the current version doesn& #39;t even fit into the shell!
(although I& #39;m certain it will when complete)
